INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2017 was 21.6% versus 24.9% for the three months ended July 2, 2016. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2017 was 22.0% versus 24.1% for the six months ended July 2, 2016. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017 was primarily driven by the mix of earnings and the 2016 gain derived from the sale of the Mastergear business. The lower effective rate as compared to the 35.0% statutory Federal income tax rate is driven by lower foreign tax rates.
As of July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $10.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized. Potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense.
With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US Federal and state/local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2012, and the Company is no longer subject to non-US income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010.
